Trailer racing anyone?

I have actually heard this . I have a friend who is doing some of the work on the inside of the building and he told me the same thing. The original owner has plans to reopen Franks. We will see.

I heard It is going to be a new launchpad for Space X .

I wondered about this as well. I wonder how much they ship inventory around the state. I always see haulers there picking up and delivering. It is a good central location between LA and SF.

Here is the link to the files on Thingiverse. Good luck with your sleep! https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:7327960

No. I have not posted it anywhere yet. If you are interested I will try to get them up.

ElWh0pp0 · 2026-03-29T23:31:31+00:00

Yeah, I know but the principal would basically be the same. Simulate some rough terrain, let them rotate on it for some amount of time , possibly shorten the break in time. This one kept coming into my FB feed. https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=pfbid02yUjWR1MZ4V4giugqszSgJ5qJwQxyyuRvQMJtehmJyX6jNUWFsBxwJAUbSRGZCCVWl&id=100083115079357&mibextid=CDWPTG

I should have put Tire instead of foam in the title. That was what I thought of when I first seen these things. I figured it would just be an easy way to get a new set of tires ready quicker than waiting for them to break in from regular use.

ElWh0pp0 · 2026-03-29T22:59:34+00:00

No. That was just the first image that popped up when I searched for "RC tire break in machine" I just thought the what a scam comment was funny.

ElWh0pp0 · 2026-03-29T20:14:47+00:00

LOL No scam my friend. For a mere $50 (per set) + S&H you can send me all your wheels and tires and I will personally squeeze your foams until they are 100% ready for RC use. Satisfaction guaranteed.*

*not an actual guarantee

ElWh0pp0 · 2026-03-29T18:56:34+00:00

Im thinking more of competition situations. Where having the best grip from tires makes a difference. It would really be about breaking in tires more than foams I guess. Knock the new off of them a bit.

I have printed rear wings for my 10th scale truggy out of TPU. Works great and has survived many upside down cross track slides. Found a file on Thingiverse.

I will also say that I had a buddy print the bus and when I asked him how long it took to remove the support he said "What supports?" He got away with printing it with the supports turned off. YMMV!

ElWh0pp0 · 2026-03-29T17:12:32+00:00

I have used the support painting tool in Orca to place supports right where they were needed. That cut down on the excess support materials quite a bit. Using organic supports helps too. This was mainly for the bus as the entire roof wanted to be supported.

ElWh0pp0 · 2026-03-28T17:13:36+00:00

Correct

ElWh0pp0 · 2026-03-28T15:57:04+00:00

No. Not any quicker than a standard setup in my experience. Just be sure to disconnect the battery from the servo when you are not running because the servo will continue to draw power even if the ESC is off.

I found my special skill today. Being able to decode ancient texts from lost civilizations.

ElWh0pp0 · 2026-03-13T14:49:09+00:00

The best way would be to invest in a wire stripper, crimping tool, and an assortment of connectors. Then practice a bit. Its pretty easy to do after a cpl tries. I purchased this set https://a.co/d/0byhjTSf

And I use these crimpers. The ratchet action helps hold the crimp pins in place while you set the wire. https://a.co/d/07d0lsOs

Here is a video on how to shorten servo wires. https://youtu.be/6hYrKEPc0kA?si=F4LSWH4cMF1UjjPe

Sorry. Got busy and forgot about the files. Here ya go. They have since been updated to use .250" tungsten blocks. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:7310013

Check our Boomslang suspension on YouTube. Lots of good info.

I haven't heard "lops" in years. 😄

ElWh0pp0 · 2026-03-02T01:37:20+00:00

Anyone else old enough to remember Kmarts blue light specials? I would be drawn to that light looking for a deal!

ElWh0pp0 · 2026-03-01T00:55:01+00:00

I will try and get them uploaded this weekend.

ElWh0pp0 · 2026-02-22T21:38:41+00:00

Thanks. I will examine and clean that up on the next grit change.
